Do any of you railroaders use Yard Cranes?

There you go, lit it up for you.

Thanks how do you fix the link?and why on many of my websites it is not necessary to fix the link?

Honestly I don’t know. On my computer when I post a link it automatically lights up. I’m glad it does because I wouldn’t know how to make it work either!

Thanks for the assistance!next time I will ask for your help if you don’t mind!

I have found that when copy and pasting a link it is often required to add a space after the last character to make it work.

In this case it works!

Thanks for the info!

I had one of the really big tower cranes that I always wanted to install on a Standard Gauge layout. It was about 3 feet tall.

Not at all! Ask anytime!

Do you refer to the large green Dorfan crane?

Thanks! I appreciate it!

No, it was a 90’s yellow plastic rc crane. Probably the same as yours but the size is a bit difficult to discern from your photo. A Dorfan crane, even a repro, is something I’ve never seen in person at shows or museums.

I think a guy in our club may have one. He’s a BIG Dorfan collector and I’ve seen his hoard. There might be a crane in the collection but honestly my eyes were glazed over when I saw what he DID have.

Next time I’m in the “Inner Sanctum” I’ll have a look. [:^)]

Yes the Dorfan crane is rare and special although I do seem to vaugley recall that someone did repo it!

So cool!

I wonder what it went for. Even a T-Repro should have brought more than 200 dollars.

Pretty expensive I imagine.

Oh, the guy I mentioned with the Dorfan collection? He’s got four of those cranes! Three original, one reproduction. One of the originals has a “Macys” sales tag on it! I was in the “Inner Sanctum” this afternoon and saw them! Wow!

No, I didn’t ask what he paid for them, that would be gauche! [:$]
